Child and Family voices

School, Community and Inclusion.

Amplifying the voices of children.
Honouring the strength of families
Growing in understanding together.

This project captures the voices, experiences and everyday lives of children currently living with a life-altering rare epilepsy diagnosis of:

  • Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy with Spike-Wave Activation in Sleep (DEE-SWAS)

  • Epileptic Encephalopathy with Spike-Wave Activation in Sleep (EE-SWAS)

  • Continuous Spike-Wave in Sleep (CSWS)

  • Electrical Status Epilepticus in Sleep (ESES)

  • Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS)

Drawing on lived experience and research insights, this project aims to build connections with clinicians, therapists, researchers and educators who want to better understand — and improve the quality of life of children living with DEE-SWAS and their families.
